My mother used to sing this song to us when we were young. A little girl and a little boy In an ecstasy of bliss Said the little boy to the little girl 'Pray give me just one kiss' The girl drew back in great surprise "Your'e a stranger, sir', said she But I will give you just one kiss - When the apples grow on the Lilac tree. The boy was very sad at heart She was the only one The girl was quite remorseful At the terrible wrong she had done So bright abd early on the very next morn He was quite surprised to se His little sweetheart Standing in the garden Tying apples on the Lilac tree.
